Thanks Lenny!
I was hoping you'd see this, don't know if you remember talking to me about it but what you just reiterated makes a lot of sense now.
BTW, did you ever see this clip of my buddy Nat's 442" Jeep with your UCC 9 1/2" Converter? This thing drives like a stocker and runs low 12's at 3800+ pounds!! Watch it CRUSH this modded SRT-8 AWD Cherokee.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bNsxJLSie0I put my 9 1/2" UCC converter behind my new 440" small block in a 66 Valiant wagon, the 3800 stall should be perfect. The motor will make just a hair more power than the jeep and be about 600 pounds lighter, it's going to be a blast!
